Mama Thursday: Three Months?

Three months? Seriously? Lily has outgrown both her newborn clothes and the 0-3 size. Unbelievable.

People at work keep asking me how I feel about being back, even though I've been back for a month now. I always have the same answer: meh. I don't believe I'm cut out for stay-at-home motherhood. By the end of those 10 weeks of maternity leave I was getting a little batty. I was an emotional mess and was starting to take it out on Husband. A lot of women say it's the lack of adult conversation that makes them crazy. For me it was being unable to do anything around the house and having it stare me in the face all day. Lily's not one for taking regular lengthy naps. I watched piles of pet hair collect in the corners, non-diaper laundry pile up on the bathroom floor, dishes sit in the sink, papers pile up on the table, and I don't even want to mention the bathroom.

After a couple of meltdowns and heart-to-hearts with Husband, he has really stepped up his housework game. Now we've almost got this complex dance of baby duty and chores down.

I have to build up my work wardrobe again because I found out the hard way that I can no longer wear button-up shirts. As a co-worker said, my rack is huge.

Lately Lily has taken to needing some cuddling time first thing in the morning. She is forcing me to slow down and really enjoy her.
